In Essex, a centre's in sight,
MDP Wethersfield, a place to stay for migrants tonight.
Since 2023, it's been home for some,
Single male migrants, their numbers have grown.
Sir Keir Starmer said it's time to close,
During the election, he made it his choice.
To process claims and get control of the shore,
So taxpayers won't pay for hotel bills galore.
But James Cleverly says Labour misled,
About immigration, and Wethersfield's needs.
He claims it's isolated, with little to do,
For the young men living there, it's not fun for them, it's true.
The Braintree MP says Labour lied,
About promises made, and Wethersfield's fate inside.
The Helen Bamber Foundation agrees,
The men's health is suffering, it's a sad, sad tease.
They face isolation, shared rooms, and stress,
Their mental and physical health is a mess.
They feel trapped, in an open prison, they say,
Their lives are a struggle, every single day.
The Home Office increased the cap, you see,
From 580 to 800, it's a number to be.
The government says it's under strain,
Difficult choices
